John:

Judge Aileen Cannon was appointed by Donald Trump. She's made legal decisions that have been questioned by leading legal minds across the political spectrum. She's been overruled more than twice by a higher court already. She is biased and that is not justice. And now, we’re expected to believe that she is impartial as she oversees the case involving Donald Trump's mishandling (a.k.a. stealing) of classified documents?

Federal law requires a judge to step away from a case in which impartiality "might reasonably be questioned." Given Judge Cannon's history and previous rulings in Trump's favor, her impartiality reaches that threshold.

Judge Cannon has already shown her bias over and over, ruling in Trump's favor, causing major trial delays, and raising serious questions about her impartiality. Previously, she ordered a "special master" to review the classified documents that federal officers had found at Mar-a-Lago. Then, she blocked authorities from using the documents in their investigation while the review was underway.

Now, Cannon has canceled the May 20 trial date, postponing it indefinitely. Postponing the trial to a potential post-election date could mean the case may never be heard if Trump wins again in November. Cannon appears to be doing everything possible to stack the deck in Trump’s favor.

Sign the petition: Judge Aileen Cannon must recuse herself from the Trump document’s case.
